OVERVIEW
TWC is the second-largest cable operator in the U.S., with technologically advanced,
well-clustered systems located mainly in five geographic areas New York State (including New York
City), the Carolinas, Ohio, southern California (including Los Angeles) and Texas. As of March 31,
2010, TWC served approximately 14.6 million residential and commercial customers who subscribed to
one or more of its three primary subscription services video, high-speed data and voice
totaling approximately 26.6 million primary service units.
TWC offers video, high-speed data and voice services over its broadband cable systems to
residential and commercial customers. TWC markets its services separately and in bundled packages
of multiple services and features. As of March 31, 2010, 58.2% of TWCs residential and commercial
customers subscribed to two or more of its primary services, including 24.1% of its customers who
subscribed to all three primary services. TWC also sells advertising to a variety of national,
regional and local advertising customers.
Video generates the largest share of TWCs revenues and, as of March 31, 2010, TWC had
approximately 12.8 million video subscribers, of which approximately 9.0 million received digital
video signals. Although TWC expects to continue to lose video subscribers as a result of increased
competition, TWC believes it will continue to increase video revenues for the foreseeable future
through the offering of incremental video services (e.g., digital video recorder services and
additional programming tiers), as well as through equipment rentals and price increases; however,
future video revenue growth rates will depend on video subscriber and penetration levels,
competition, regulation, pricing and the state of the economy. TWC also offers video services to
business customers, and of the Companys 12.8 million video subscribers as of March 31, 2010,
161,000 were commercial video subscribers. Video programming costs represent a major component of
TWCs expenses and are expected to continue to increase, reflecting rate increases on existing
programming services, costs associated with retransmission consent agreements, growth in video
subscribers taking tiers of service with more channels and the expansion of service offerings
(e.g., new network channels). TWC expects that its video programming costs as a percentage of video
revenues will continue to increase as increases in programming costs outpace growth in video
revenues.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
As of March 31, 2010, TWC had approximately 9.2 million residential high-speed data
subscribers and 304,000 commercial high-speed data subscribers. TWCs commercial high-speed data
services include high-speed data, networking and transport services. TWC expects continued growth
in high-speed data subscribers and revenues for the foreseeable future; however, future high-speed
data subscriber and revenue growth rates will depend on high-speed data penetration levels,
competition, regulation, pricing, the rate of wireless substitution of wireline high-speed data
service and the state of the economy.
During the fourth quarter of 2009, TWC began launching Road Runner MobileTM, a
wireless mobile broadband service, in several cities and expects to continue the roll-out during
2010. The Company estimates that it will incur start up losses of approximately $50 million during
2010 in connection with the deployment of this service, of which approximately $5 million were
incurred during the first quarter of 2010.
As of March 31, 2010, TWC had approximately 4.2 million residential Digital Phone subscribers.
TWC also offers its commercial Digital Phone service, Business Class Phone, in nearly all of its
operating areas and had 78,000 commercial Digital Phone subscribers as of March 31, 2010. TWC
expects increases in Digital Phone subscribers and revenues for the foreseeable future; however,
future Digital Phone subscriber and revenue growth rates will depend on Digital Phone penetration
levels, competition, regulation, pricing, the rate of wireless substitution of wireline phone
service and the state of the economy.
TWC faces intense competition for customers from a variety of alternative communications,
information and entertainment delivery sources. TWC competes with incumbent local telephone
companies, including AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc., across each of its primary
services. Some of these telephone companies offer a broad range of services with features and
functions comparable to those provided by TWC and in bundles similar to those offered by TWC,
sometimes with the addition of wireless service. Each of TWCs services also faces competition from
other companies that provide services on a stand-alone basis. TWCs video service faces competition
from direct broadcast satellite services, and increasingly from companies that deliver content to
consumers over the Internet. TWCs high-speed data service faces competition from wireless data
providers, and competition in voice service is increasing as more homes in the U.S. are replacing
their wireline telephone service with wireless service or over-the-top phone service, such as
that provided by Vonage or Skype. Technological advances and product innovations have increased and
will likely continue to increase the number of alternatives available to TWCs customers, further
intensifying competition. The more competitive environment may negatively affect the growth of
primary service units and average monthly subscription revenues per primary service unit and,
additionally, may increase TWCs cost to obtain certain video programming.
Since the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company has experienced a slowdown in growth across all
primary service unit categories, which the Company believes is in significant part a result of a
challenging economic environment. In particular, the Company believes its subscriber growth has
been negatively affected by the slowdown in new home formation and high housing vacancy rates, as
well as high unemployment and the related reduction in consumer spending.
Management believes that cash generated by or available to TWC should be sufficient to fund
its capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, including quarterly dividend payments.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $6.1 billion of unused committed capacity
(including cash and equivalents). Additionally, there are no maturities of the Companys long-term
debt prior to the February 2011 maturity of the Companys $5.875 billion senior unsecured five-year
revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility), which, as of March 31, 2010, supported
outstanding borrowings of $5 million under the Companys commercial paper program. The Company
expects to enter into a new revolving credit agreement prior to the maturity of the current
Revolving Credit Facility. See Financial Condition and Liquidity for further details regarding
the Companys committed capacity.

Recent Developments
Common Stock Dividend
On March 15, 2010, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share on TWC common
stock, to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 26, 2010, totaling $144
million. On April 26, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.40 per share on TWC common stock, payable in cash on June 15, 2010 to stockholders of record at
the close of business on May 28, 2010.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
Historically, goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization, primarily
cable franchise rights, have been tested for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year
(December 31) or earlier upon the occurrence of a triggering event. The Companys most recent
annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter of 2009 did not result in any goodwill or cable
franchise rights impairment charges. Refer to the Companys 2009 Form 10-K for additional
information related to the 2009 impairment testing.
During 2010, the Company revised its annual impairment testing date to July 1 to coincide more
closely with the Companys annual preparation of long range projections (LRP), which are a
significant component used in the impairment analysis. Prior to the Companys separation (the
Separation) from Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner) (discussed further below), the Companys LRP
was prepared during the fourth quarter of each year, consistent with Time Warners other business
units. After the Separation, the Company began preparing its LRP in the middle of each year.
Accordingly, the Company believes the change in the annual impairment testing date to be preferable
in its circumstances. This change is being applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not
believe this change would have delayed, accelerated or avoided an impairment charge in prior
periods.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Revenues
The Companys revenues consist of Subscription and Advertising revenues. Subscription revenues
consist of revenues from video, high-speed data and voice services.
Video revenues include residential and commercial subscriber fees for the Companys three main
levels or tiers of video programmingBasic Service Tier (BST), Expanded Basic Service Tier (or
Cable Programming Service Tier) (CPST) and Digital Basic Service Tier (DBT), as well as fees
for genre-based programming tiers, such as movies, sports and Spanish language tiers. Video
revenues also include related equipment rental charges, installation charges and franchise fees
collected on behalf of local franchising authorities. Additionally, video revenues include revenues
from premium channels, transactional video-on-demand (e.g., events and movies) and digital video
recorder services. Several ancillary items are also included within video revenues, such as
commissions earned on the sale of merchandise by home shopping networks and revenues from home
security services.
High-speed data revenues primarily include subscriber fees from both residential and
commercial subscribers, along with related home networking fees and installation charges.
High-speed data revenues also include fees paid to TWC by (a) the Advance/Newhouse Partnership for
the ability to distribute TWCs Road RunnerTM high-speed data service and TWCs
management of certain functions for the Advance/Newhouse Partnership, including, among others,
programming and engineering, and (b) other distributors of TWCs Road Runner high-speed data
service. In addition, high-speed data revenues include fees received from third-party internet
service providers whose on-line services are provided to some of TWCs customers (e.g., Earthlink).
Commercial high-speed data revenues also include amounts generated by the sale of networking and
transport services (e.g., Metro Ethernet services and point-to-point transport services offered to
wireless telephone providers, Internet service providers and competitive carriers on a wholesale
basis).
Voice revenues include subscriber fees from residential and commercial Digital Phone
subscribers, along with related installation charges.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Advertising revenues include the fees charged to local, regional and national advertising
customers for advertising placed on the Companys video and high-speed data services. Nearly all
Advertising revenues are attributable to advertising placed on the Companys video service.
Costs and Expenses
Costs of revenues include the following costs directly associated with the delivery of
services to subscribers or the maintenance of the Companys delivery systems: video programming
costs; high-speed data connectivity costs; voice network costs; other service-related expenses,
including non-administrative labor; franchise fees; and other related costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include amounts not directly associated with the
delivery of services to subscribers or the maintenance of the Companys delivery systems, such as
administrative labor costs, marketing expenses, bad debt expense, billing system charges, non-plant
repair and maintenance costs and other administrative overhead costs.
Use of Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization and Free Cash Flow
In discussing its performance, the Company may use certain measures that are not calculated
and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These
measures include OIBDA and Free Cash Flow, which the Company defines as follows:
|
|
|
OIBDA (Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization) means Operating
Income (Loss) before depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible
assets. |
|
|
|
|
Free Cash Flow means cash provided by operating activities (as defined under GAAP)
excluding the impact, if any, of cash provided or used by discontinued operations, plus
any excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, less (i) capital expenditures,
(ii) cash paid for other intangible assets, (iii) partnership distributions to third
parties and (iv) principal payments on capital leases. |
Management uses OIBDA, among other measures, in evaluating the performance of the Companys
business because it eliminates the effects of (1) considerable amounts of noncash depreciation and
amortization and (2) items not within the control of the Companys operations managers (such as net
income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, income tax benefit (provision), other
income (expense), net, and interest expense, net). Management believes that Free Cash Flow is an
important indicator of the Companys liquidity after the payment of cash taxes, interest and other
cash items, including its ability to reduce net debt, pay dividends and make strategic investments.
Performance measures derived from OIBDA are also used in the Companys annual incentive
compensation programs. In addition, both of these measures are commonly used by analysts, investors
and others in evaluating the Companys performance and liquidity.
These measures have inherent limitations. For example, OIBDA does not reflect capital
expenditures or the periodic costs of certain capitalized assets used in generating revenues. To
compensate for such limitations, management evaluates performance through, among other measures,
Free Cash Flow, which reflects capital expenditure decisions, and net income (loss) attributable to
TWC shareholders, which reflects the periodic costs of capitalized assets. OIBDA also fails to
reflect the significant costs borne by the Company for income taxes and debt servicing costs, the
share of OIBDA attributable to noncontrolling interests, the results of the Companys equity
investments or other non-operational income or expense. Management compensates for these
limitations by using other analytics such as a review of net income (loss) attributable to TWC
shareholders. Free Cash Flow, a liquidity measure, does not reflect payments made in connection
with investments and acquisitions, which reduce liquidity. To compensate for this limitation,
management evaluates such investments and acquisitions through other measures such as return on
investment analyses.
These measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, the Companys
Operating Income (Loss), net income (loss) attributable to TWC shareholders and various cash flow
measures (e.g., cash provided by operating activities), as well as other measures of financial
performance and liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures used by other companies.

Basis of Presentation
Separation from Time Warner Inc.
On March 12, 2009, TWC completed the Separation from Time Warner, which, prior to the
Separation, owned approximately 84% of the common stock of TWC (representing a 90.6% voting
interest) and a 12.43% non-voting common stock interest in TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (TW NY), a
subsidiary of TWC. As a result of the Separation, Time Warner no longer has an ownership interest
in TWC or TW NY. Refer to the 2009 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Separation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, residential subscription revenues increased 4.1% to
$4.172 billion and commercial subscription revenues increased 19.2% to $254 million. Total
subscription revenues increased 4.9% as a result of increases in video, high-speed data and voice
revenues.
The increase in video revenues was primarily due to video price increases, the continued
growth of digital video subscribers and an increase in revenues from digital video recorder
service, which were partially offset by a decrease in video subscribers. Commercial video revenues
were $64 million and $60 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
High-speed data revenues increased primarily due to growth in high-speed data subscribers and,
to a lesser extent, increases in high-speed data prices and cell tower backhaul and Metro Ethernet
revenues. Commercial high-speed data revenues were $164 million and $140 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The increase in voice revenues was due to growth in Digital Phone subscribers, partially
offset by a decrease in average revenues per subscriber. Commercial voice revenues were $26 million
and $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Average monthly subscription revenues (which includes video, high-speed data and voice
revenues) per unit were as follows:

Advertising revenues increased primarily due to higher revenues from regional and local and,
to a lesser extent, national businesses. The Company expects that Advertising revenues will
increase in 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily as a result of an increase in revenues from such
businesses, as well as an increase in political advertising revenues.

Costs of revenues increased 3.0%, primarily related to increases in video programming and
voice costs, partially offset by a decrease in employee costs.
The
increase in video programming costs was primarily due to contractual rate
increases and incremental costs associated with the continued retransmission of certain local broadcast
stations, partially offset by a decline in video and premium channel
subscriptions. Average programming costs per video subscriber increased 7.2% to $27.39 per month
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $25.56 per month for the three months ended March
31, 2009.
Employee costs decreased primarily due to a decline in contract labor expense as a result of a
decrease in connect and installation activity, partially offset by an increase in employee medical
expenses.
Voice costs consist of the direct costs associated with the delivery of voice services,
including network connectivity costs. Voice costs increased primarily due to growth in Digital
Phone subscribers.

Bad debt expense includes amounts charged to expense associated with the Companys allowance
for doubtful accounts and collection expenses, net of late fees billed to subscribers. Late fees
billed to subscribers were $33 million and $26 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010
and 2009, respectively. |
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher employee and
marketing expenses, partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense. Bad debt expense declined
primarily due to improvements in collection efforts and the quality of residential receivables.
As a result of the Separation, pursuant to their terms, Time Warner equity awards held by TWC
employees were forfeited and/or experienced a reduction in value as of the date of the Separation.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded $2 million of costs associated
with TWC stock options and restricted stock units granted to its employees during the second
quarter of 2009 to offset these forfeitures and/or reduced values (Separation-related make-up
equity award costs).
Restructuring costs. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 included
restructuring costs of $11 million and $43 million, respectively, primarily related to headcount
reductions. During the first quarter of 2009, TWC began a significant restructuring, resulting in
the elimination of approximately 1,300 positions during 2009, of which approximately 600 occurred
during the first quarter of 2009. During the first quarter of 2010, TWC eliminated approximately
170 additional positions as a result of this restructuring. The Company expects to incur
additional restructuring charges during 2010.

OIBDA. As discussed above, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, OIBDA was impacted by
restructuring costs and Separation-related make-up equity award costs. For the three months ended
March 31, 2009, OIBDA was impacted by restructuring costs. Excluding these items, OIBDA increased
principally as a result of revenue growth, partially offset by higher costs of revenues, as
discussed above.
Depreciation expense. The increase in depreciation expense was primarily associated with
continued investments in customer premise equipment, scalable infrastructure and line extensions
occurring during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2009.
Amortization expense. The increase in amortization expense was primarily due to a benefit of
approximately $11 million recorded during the first quarter of 2009 to reduce excess amortization
recorded in prior years. The Company expects amortization expense to decrease significantly in the
second half of 2010 as compared to the second half of 2009 as a result of approximately $880
million of customer relationships acquired in the July 31, 2006 transactions with Adelphia
Communications Corporation and Comcast Corporation becoming fully amortized during the third
quarter of 2010.
Operating Income. As discussed above, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, Operating
Income was impacted by restructuring costs and Separation-related make-up equity award costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, Operating Income was impacted by restructuring costs.
Excluding these items, Operating Income increased primarily due to the increase in OIBDA, partially
offset by the increase in depreciation expense, as discussed above.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, increased primarily due to higher average debt
outstanding, as well as higher average interest rates on outstanding debt, during the three months
ended March 31, 2010. Interest expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 also
included a benefit received from interest rate swaps. Additionally, interest expense, net, for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 included $13 million of debt issuance costs primarily related to
upfront loan fees on a 364-day senior unsecured term loan facility entered into in 2008 in
connection with the Separation, which were recognized as expense when the facility was repaid and
terminated following the Companys public debt issuance in March 2009. The Company expects that
interest expense, net, will increase in 2010 primarily due to higher average interest rates on
outstanding debt.

Income tax provision. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company
recorded income tax provisions of $273 million and $191 million, respectively. The effective tax
rate was 55.9% and 50.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The income tax provision and the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010
were impacted by a noncash charge of $72 million related to the reversal of previously recognized
deferred income tax benefits primarily as a result of the expiration, on March 12, 2010, of vested
Time Warner stock options held by TWC employees. As a result of the Separation on March 12, 2009,
TWC employees who held stock options under Time Warner equity plans were treated as if their
employment with Time Warner had been terminated without cause at the time of the Separation. In
most cases, this treatment resulted in shortened exercise periods, generally one year from the date
of Separation, for vested Time Warner stock options held by TWC employees. Vested Time Warner stock
options held primarily by certain retirement-eligible TWC employees (pursuant to the terms of the
award agreements) have exercise periods of up to five years from the date of the Separation and, as
such, the Company estimates that it may incur additional noncash income tax expense of up to
approximately $90 million over the next four years through March 2014 upon the exercise or
expiration of these stock options. This estimate and the timing of such charges are dependent on a
number of variables, including the Time Warner stock price and the timing of the exercise of these
stock options.
The income tax provision and the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2009
were impacted by the passage of the California state budget during the first quarter of 2009 that,
in part, changed the methodology of income tax apportionment in California. This tax law change
resulted in an increase in state deferred tax liabilities and a corresponding noncash tax provision
of $38 million, which was recorded in the first quarter of 2009.
Absent the impacts of the expiration of vested Time Warner stock options in 2010 and the tax
law change in 2009, the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 would
have been 41.2% and 40.8%, respectively. TWCs income tax provision has been prepared as if the
Company operated as a stand-alone taxpayer for all periods presented.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests decreased principally due to changes in the ownership structure of the
Company that occurred during the first quarter of 2009 in connection with the Separation.

As discussed above, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, net income attributable to TWC
shareholders and net income per common share attributable to TWC common shareholders were impacted
by restructuring costs and Separation-related make-up equity award costs. For the three months
ended March 31, 2009, net income attributable to TWC shareholders and net income per common share
attributable to TWC common shareholders were impacted by restructuring costs. Excluding these
items, net income attributable to TWC shareholders and net income per common share attributable to
TWC common shareholders increased primarily due to an increase in Operating Income and decreases in
other expense, net, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, partially offset by
increases in income tax provision and interest expense, net, each as discussed above.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Management believes that cash generated by or available to TWC should be sufficient to fund
its capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, including quarterly dividend payments.
There are no maturities of the Companys long-term debt prior to the February 2011 maturity of the
Revolving Credit Facility, which, as of March 31, 2010, supported outstanding borrowings of $5
million under the Companys commercial paper program. The Company expects to enter into a new
revolving credit agreement prior to the maturity of the current Revolving Credit Facility. TWCs
sources of cash include cash provided by operating activities, cash and equivalents on hand,
borrowing capacity under its committed credit facility and commercial paper program, as well as
access to capital markets.
TWCs unused committed capacity was $6.077 billion as of March 31, 2010, reflecting $361
million of cash and equivalents and $5.716 billion of available borrowing capacity under the
Companys $5.875 billion Revolving Credit Facility.
Current Financial Condition
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had $21.143 billion of debt, $361 million of cash and
equivalents (net debt of $20.782 billion, defined as total debt less cash and equivalents), $300
million of mandatorily redeemable non-voting Series A Preferred Equity Membership Units (the TW NY
Cable Preferred Membership Units) issued by a subsidiary of TWC, Time Warner NY Cable LLC (TW NY
Cable), and $8.893 billion of total TWC shareholders equity. As of December 31, 2009, the Company
had $22.331 billion of debt, $1.048 billion of cash and equivalents (net debt of $21.283 billion),
$300 million of TW NY Cable Preferred Membership Units and $8.685 billion of total TWC
shareholders equity.

In 2008, TWC filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC) that allows TWC to offer and sell from time to time senior and subordinated
debt securities and debt warrants.
On March 15, 2010, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share on TWC common
stock, to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 26, 2010, totaling $144
million. On April 26, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.40 per share on TWC common stock, payable in cash on June 15, 2010 to stockholders of record at
the close of business on May 28, 2010.

Cash provided by operating activities increased from $1.141 billion for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 to $1.386 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was
primarily related to an increase in OIBDA (as previously discussed), the change in working capital
requirements and the decrease in pension plan contributions, partially offset by the change in net
restructuring accruals (payments) and net income taxes refunded (paid), which, for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, benefited from reimbursements from Time Warner in accordance with a tax
sharing arrangement between TWC and Time Warner.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
The Company did not make any contributions to its funded defined benefit pension plans during
the three months ended March 31, 2010 but may make discretionary cash contributions to its funded
defined benefit pension plans during 2010. See Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial
statements for additional discussion of the funded status of the Companys defined benefit pension
plans.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company received a benefit to net income taxes
paid due to the impact of the accelerated depreciation deductions provided by the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which was partially offset by the reversal of a portion of similar
benefits received in 2008 from the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008. These Acts provided for a first
year bonus depreciation deduction of 50% of the cost of the Companys qualified capital
expenditures for the year. The Company expects that net income taxes paid will increase
significantly in 2010 as a result of the absence of bonus depreciation and the reversal of a
portion of the bonus depreciation benefits received in 2008 and 2009.
The Company expects that its net interest payments will increase in 2010 primarily as a result
of the timing of interest payments related to the public debt issuances in March, June and December
of 2009.

TWC is a participant in a joint venture with certain other cable companies
(SpectrumCo) that holds advanced wireless spectrum licenses. |
Cash used by investing activities decreased from $759 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 to $717 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease was
principally due to a decline in capital expenditures. The Company expects that capital expenditures
will decrease to less than $3.0 billion in 2010.

(a) |
|
Amounts represent costs incurred in the purchase and installation of equipment
that resides at a customers home or business for the purpose of receiving/sending video,
high-speed data and/or voice signals. Such equipment includes digital (including high-definition)
set-top boxes, remote controls, high-speed data modems, telephone modems and the costs of
installing such new equipment. Customer premise equipment also includes materials and labor costs
incurred to install the drop cable that connects a customers dwelling or business to the closest
point of the main distribution network. |
|
(b) |
|
Amounts represent costs incurred in the purchase and installation of equipment that
controls signal reception, processing and transmission throughout TWCs distribution network, as
well as controls and communicates with the equipment residing at a customers home or business.
Also included in scalable infrastructure is certain equipment necessary for content aggregation and
distribution (video-on-demand equipment) and equipment necessary to provide certain video,
high-speed data and Digital Phone service features (voicemail, e-mail, etc.). |
|
(c) |
|
Amounts represent costs incurred to extend TWCs distribution network into a
geographic area previously not served. These costs typically include network design, the purchase
and installation of fiber optic and coaxial cable and certain electronic equipment. |
|
(d) |
|
Amounts primarily represent costs incurred to upgrade or replace certain existing
components or an entire geographic area of TWCs distribution network. These costs typically
include network design, the purchase and installation of fiber optic and coaxial cable and certain
electronic equipment. |
|
(e) |
|
Amounts represent all other capital purchases required to run
day-to-day operations. These costs typically include vehicles, land and buildings, computer
hardware/software, office equipment, furniture and fixtures, tools and test equipment. Amounts
include capitalized software costs of $35 million and $32 million for the three months ended March
31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. |
TWC incurs expenditures associated with the construction of its cable systems. Costs
associated with the construction of transmission and distribution facilities are capitalized. TWC
generally capitalizes expenditures for tangible fixed assets having a useful life of greater than
one year. Capitalized costs include direct material, labor and overhead, as well as interest. Sales
and marketing costs, as well as the costs of repairing or maintaining existing fixed assets, are
expensed as incurred. With respect to customer premise equipment, which includes set-top boxes and
high-speed data and telephone modems, TWC capitalizes installation costs only upon the initial
deployment of these assets. All costs incurred in subsequent disconnects and reconnects of
previously installed customer premise equipment are expensed as incurred. Depreciation on these
assets is provided generally using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. For
set-top boxes and modems, the useful life is 3 to 5 years, and, for distribution plant, the useful
life is up to 16 years.

Cash used by financing activities decreased from $5.435 billion for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 to $1.356 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Cash used by
financing activities for the first quarter of 2010 primarily included net repayments under the
Companys commercial paper program and the payment of cash dividends. Cash used by financing
activities for the first quarter of 2009 primarily consisted of the payment of the special cash
dividend in connection with the Separation, partially offset by the net proceeds of the public debt
issuance in March 2009 and net borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily as a result of an increase in cash
provided by operating activities and a decrease in capital expenditures, as discussed above.

CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, particularly statements anticipating future growth in
revenues, Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization, cash provided by operating
activities and other financial measures. Words such as anticipates, estimates, expects,
projects, intends, plans, believes and words and terms of similar substance used in
connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on managements current
expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or forecast, they are
susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances, and the Company is under no obligation to,
and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter its forward-looking statements whether
as a result of such changes, new information, subsequent events or otherwise.
Various factors could adversely affect the operations, business or financial results of TWC in
the future and cause TWCs actual results to differ materially from those contained in the
forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed in detail in Item 1A, Risk Factors,
in the 2009 Form 10-K, and in TWCs other filings made from time to time with the SEC after the
date of this report. In addition, the Company operates in a highly competitive, consumer and
technology-driven and rapidly changing business. The Companys business is affected by government
regulation, economic, strategic, political and social conditions, consumer response to new and
existing products and services, technological developments and, particularly in view of new
technologies, its continued ability to protect and secure any necessary intellectual property
rights. TWCs actual results could differ materially from managements expectations because of
changes in such factors.
Further, lower than expected valuations associated with the Companys cash flows and revenues
may result in the Companys inability to realize the value of recorded intangibles and goodwill.
Additionally, achieving the Companys financial objectives could be adversely affected by the
factors discussed in detail in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the 2009 Form 10-K, as well as:
|
|
|
a longer than anticipated continuation of the current economic slowdown or further deterioration
in the economy; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the Companys plans, strategies and intentions; |
|
|
|
|
the impacts of significant acquisitions, dispositions and other similar
transactions; and |
|
|
|
|
the failure to meet earnings expectations. |

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on
that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to
be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms
and that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the
Companys management to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
Time Warner Cable Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, TWC or the Company) is the
second-largest cable operator in the U.S., with technologically advanced, well-clustered systems
located mainly in five geographic areas New York State (including New York City), the Carolinas,
Ohio, southern California (including Los Angeles) and Texas. As of March 31, 2010, TWC served
approximately 14.6 million residential and commercial customers who subscribed to one or more of
its three primary subscription services video, high-speed data and voice totaling approximately
26.6 million primary service units.
TWC offers video, high-speed data and voice services over its broadband cable systems to
residential and commercial customers. TWC markets its services separately and in bundled packages
of multiple services and features. As of March 31, 2010, 58.2% of TWCs residential and commercial
customers subscribed to two or more of its primary services, including 24.1% of its customers who
subscribed to all three primary services. TWC also sells advertising to a variety of national,
regional and local advertising customers.
Recent Developments
Common Stock Dividend
On March 15, 2010, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share on TWC common
stock, to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 26, 2010, totaling $144
million. On April 26, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.40 per share on TWC common stock, payable in cash on June 15, 2010 to stockholders of record at
the close of business on May 28, 2010.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
Historically, goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization, primarily
cable franchise rights, have been tested for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year
(December 31) or earlier upon the occurrence of a triggering event. The Companys most recent
annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter of 2009 did not result in any goodwill or cable
franchise rights impairment charges. Refer to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2009 (the 2009 Form 10-K) for additional information related to the 2009
impairment testing.
During 2010, the Company revised its annual impairment testing date to July 1 to coincide more
closely with the Companys annual preparation of long range projections (LRP), which are a
significant component used in the impairment analysis. Prior to the Companys separation (the
Separation) from Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner) (discussed further below), the Companys LRP
was prepared during the fourth quarter of each year, consistent with Time Warners other business
units. After the Separation, the Company began preparing its LRP in the middle of each year.
Accordingly, the Company believes the change in the annual impairment testing date to be preferable
in its circumstances. This change is being applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not
believe this change would have delayed, accelerated or avoided an impairment charge in prior
periods.
Basis of Presentation
Changes in Basis of Presentation
Separation from Time Warner. As discussed more fully in the 2009 Form 10-K, in March 2009, TWC
completed the Separation from Time Warner, which, prior to the Separation, owned approximately 84%
of the common stock of TWC (representing a 90.6% voting interest) and a 12.43% non-voting common
stock interest in TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (TW NY), a subsidiary of TWC. As a result of the
Separation, Time Warner no longer has an ownership interest in TWC or TW NY.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses and cash flows of TWC and all entities in which TWC has a controlling voting interest. The
consolidated financial statements include the results of the Time Warner
Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (TWE-A/N) only for the TWE-A/N cable systems that are
controlled by TWC and for which TWC holds an economic interest. Intercompany accounts and
transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
include accounting for asset impairments, allowances for doubtful accounts, investments,
depreciation and amortization, business combinations, pension benefits, equity-based compensation,
income taxes, contingencies and certain programming arrangements. Allocation methodologies used to
prepare the consolidated financial statements are based on estimates and have been described in the
notes, where appropriate.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to
the current year presentation.
Interim Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management,
they contain all the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
periods presented in conformity with GAAP applicable to interim periods. The consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of TWC
included in the 2009 Form 10-K.
Net Income per Common Share
Basic net income attributable to TWC common shareholders is determined using the two-class
method and is computed by dividing net income attributable to TWC common shareholders by the
weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. The two-class method is an
earnings allocation formula that determines income per share for each class of common stock and
participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed
earnings. Diluted net income attributable to TWC common shareholders reflects the more dilutive
earnings per share amount calculated using the treasury stock method or the two-class method.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2010
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued authoritative guidance
that requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprises variable
interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This
analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that
has both of the following characteristics, among others: (a) the power to direct the activities of
a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance and (b)
the obligation to absorb losses of the entity, or the right to receive benefits from the entity,
that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Under this guidance, ongoing
reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity are
required. This guidance became effective for TWC on January 1, 2010 and did not have a material
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that expands the required disclosures
about fair value measurements. This guidance provides for new disclosures requiring the Company to
(i) disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair
value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers and (ii) present separately
information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair
value measurements. This guidance also provides clarification of existing disclosures requiring the
Company to (i) determine each class of assets and liabilities based on the nature and risks of the
investments rather than by major security type and (ii) for each class of assets and liabilities,
disclose the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both Level 2 and Level
3 fair value measurements. This guidance became effective for TWC on January 1, 2010, except for
the presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation of Level 3
fair value measurements, which is effective for TWC on January 1, 2011, and did not have a material
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The guidance pertaining to the
presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair
value measurements is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables
In September 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that provides for a new methodology
for establishing the fair value for a deliverable in a multiple-element arrangement. When vendor
specific objective or third-party evidence for deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement
cannot be determined, an enterprise is required to develop a best estimate of the selling price of
separate deliverables and to allocate the arrangement consideration using the relative selling
price method. This guidance will be effective for TWC on January 1, 2011 and is not expected to
have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Software Elements
In September 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that provides for a new methodology
for recognizing revenue for tangible products that are bundled with software products. Under the
new guidance, tangible products that are bundled with software components that are essential to the
functionality of the tangible product will no longer be accounted for under the software revenue
recognition accounting guidance. Rather, such products will be accounted for under the new
authoritative guidance surrounding multiple-element arrangements described above. This guidance
will be effective for TWC on January 1, 2011 and is not expected to have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
3. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheet
as either assets or liabilities at fair value. Derivative financial instruments are specifically
designated, if certain conditions are met, as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair
value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment (a fair value hedge)
or (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction or a hedge of the
foreign currency exposure of a forecasted transaction denominated in a foreign currency (a cash
flow hedge). The Company uses derivative financial instruments primarily to manage the risks
associated with fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and does not
hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
The fair value of the assets and liabilities associated with the Companys derivative
financial instruments recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010 and December
31, 2009 is as follows (in millions):

Interest Rate Swap Contracts
Interest rate swap contracts are used to change the nature of outstanding debt (e.g., convert
fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt or convert variable-rate debt into fixed-rate debt). As of
March 31, 2010, the Company had interest rate swap contracts outstanding that convert $5.850
billion of fixed-rate debt instruments, with maturities extending through February 2015, to
variable-rate debt. Such contracts are designated as fair value hedges. Under its interest rate
swap contracts, the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual fixed rates of interest ranging from
3.500% to 10.150% and is required to make semi-annual interest payments at variable rates based on
LIBOR plus margins ranging from 0.755% to 8.442%. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the
Company recognized no gain or loss related to the fair value of its interest rate swap contracts
because the changes in the fair values of such instruments completely offset the changes in the
fair values of the fixed-rate debt.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
Foreign currency forward contracts are used to mitigate the risk to the Company from changes
in foreign currency exchange rates. Such contracts, which extend through May 2011, are designated
as cash flow hedges and specifically relate to forecasted payments denominated in the Philippine
peso made to vendors who provide Road RunnerTM customer care support services.
The effective portion of the gain or loss on foreign currency forward contracts is recorded as
a component of TWC shareholders equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (accumulated
OCI). The effective portion of such gains and losses are reclassified out of accumulated OCI into
costs of revenues in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects
earnings. The ineffective portion of such gains and losses are recognized in other expense, net, in
the current reporting period. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the effects of
foreign currency forward contracts on earnings were immaterial. The Company expects net gains of $1
million to be reclassified out of accumulated OCI and into earnings within the next 12 months.
Equity Award Reimbursement Obligation
Upon the exercise of Time Warner stock options held by TWC employees, TWC is obligated to
reimburse Time Warner for the excess of the market price of Time Warner common stock on the day of
exercise over the option exercise price (the intrinsic value of the award). Prior to the
Separation, TWC recorded an equity award reimbursement obligation for the intrinsic value of vested
and outstanding Time Warner stock options held by TWC employees. This liability was adjusted each
reporting period to reflect changes in the market price of Time Warner common stock and the number
of Time Warner stock options held by TWC employees with an offsetting adjustment to TWC
shareholders equity. Beginning on March 12, 2009, the date of the Separation, TWC began accounting
for the equity award reimbursement obligation as a derivative financial instrument because, as of
such date, Time Warner is no longer a controlling shareholder of the Company. The Company records
the equity award reimbursement obligation at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet, which is
estimated using the Black-Scholes model, and, on March 12, 2009, TWC established a liability of $16
million for the fair value of the equity award reimbursement obligation in other liabilities with
an offsetting adjustment to TWC shareholders equity in the consolidated balance sheet. The change
in the equity award reimbursement obligation fluctuates primarily with the fair value and expected
volatility of Time Warner common stock and is recorded in earnings in the period of change. For the
three months ended March 31, 2010, TWC recognized a gain of $4 million and, for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, recognized a loss of $2 million in other expense, net, in the consolidated
statement of operations for the change in the fair value of the equity award reimbursement
obligation after the Separation.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of an asset or liability is based on the assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques consistent with the market
approach, income approach and/or cost approach are used to measure fair value. The Company
primarily applies a market-based approach for recurring fair value measurements. The Company
follows a three-tiered fair value hierarchy when determining the inputs to valuation techniques.
The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels in
order to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The
levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
|
|
Level 1: consists of financial instruments whose values are based on quoted market prices for
identical financial instruments in an active market. |
|
|
|
Level 2: consists of financial instruments whose values are determined using models or other
valuation methodologies that utilize inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly,
including (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted
prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, (iii)
pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the financial
instrument and (iv) pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by
observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the
financial instrument. |
|
|
|
Level 3: consists of financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models that
utilize significant inputs that are primarily unobservable, discounted cash flow methodologies,
or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires
significant management judgment or estimation. |
Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair values of assets and liabilities classified as derivative financial instruments are
as follows as of March 31, 2010 (in millions):

Fair Value of Debt
Based on the level of interest rates prevailing at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the
fair value of TWCs fixed-rate debt and mandatorily redeemable preferred equity exceeded the
carrying value by approximately $2.475 billion and $2.268 billion as of March 31, 2010 and December
31, 2009, respectively. Unrealized gains or losses on debt do not result in the realization or
expenditure of cash and are not recognized for financial reporting purposes unless the debt is
retired prior to its maturity.
5. INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded income tax provisions
of $273 million and $191 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was 55.9% and 50.9% for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
28
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
The income tax provision and the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010
were impacted by a noncash charge of $72 million related to the reversal of previously recognized
deferred income tax benefits primarily as a result of the expiration, on March 12, 2010, of vested
Time Warner stock options held by TWC employees. As a result of the Separation on March 12, 2009,
TWC employees who held stock options under Time Warner equity plans were treated as if their
employment with Time Warner had been terminated without cause at the time of the Separation. In
most cases, this treatment resulted in shortened exercise periods, generally one year from the date
of Separation, for vested Time Warner stock options held by TWC employees. Vested Time Warner stock
options held primarily by certain retirement-eligible TWC employees (pursuant to the terms of the
award agreements) have exercise periods of up to five years from the date of the Separation and, as
such, the Company estimates that it may incur additional noncash income tax expense of up to
approximately $90 million over the next four years through March 2014 upon the exercise or
expiration of these stock options. This estimate and the timing of such charges are dependent on a
number of variables, including the Time Warner stock price and the timing of the exercise of these
stock options.
The income tax provision and the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2009
were impacted by the passage of the California state budget during the first quarter of 2009 that,
in part, changed the methodology of income tax apportionment in California. This tax law change
resulted in an increase in state deferred tax liabilities and a corresponding noncash tax provision
of $38 million, which was recorded in the first quarter of 2009.
6. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has granted options to purchase shares of TWC common stock and restricted stock
units (RSUs) to its employees and non-employee directors under the Time Warner Cable Inc. 2006
Stock Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan).
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity
instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized in the
consolidated statement of operations over the period during which an employee is required to
provide service in exchange for the award (generally four years subject to graded vesting
conditions). The Companys policy is to recognize the cost on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate the grant date fair
value of a stock option. Because the option-pricing model requires the use of subjective
assumptions, changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value of stock options
granted. The volatility assumption is determined using primarily implied volatilities data from the
Companys traded options. The volatility assumption is calculated using a 75%-25% weighted average
of implied volatility of TWC traded options and the historical stock price volatility of a
comparable peer group of publicly traded companies. The expected term, which represents the period
of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, is estimated based on the historical
exercise experience of TWC employees. The risk-free rate assumed in valuing the stock options is
based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the
option. The Company determines the expected dividend yield percentage by dividing the expected
annual dividend by the market price of TWC common stock at the date of grant. The table below
presents the assumptions used to value TWC stock options at their grant date for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and reflects the weighted average of all awards granted within each
period:

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, TWC granted approximately 3.8 million stock options
at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $10.94 per option. For the three months ended March
31, 2009, TWC granted approximately 4.9 million stock options at a weighted-average grant date fair
value of $9.18 per option. Stock options granted under the 2006 Plan have exercise prices equal to
the fair market value of TWC common stock at the date of grant. Generally, the stock options vest
ratably over a four-year vesting period and expire ten years from the date of grant. Certain stock
option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon the grantees termination of employment after
reaching a specified age and years of service.
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, TWC granted approximately 1.9 million RSUs at a
weighted-average grant date fair value of $45.15 per RSU. For the three months ended March 31,
2009, TWC granted approximately 2.5 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of
$39.05 per RSU. RSUs granted under the 2006 Plan generally vest 50% on the third anniversary of the
grant date and 50% on the fourth anniversary. RSUs provide for accelerated vesting upon the
grantees termination of employment after reaching a specified age and years of service. Shares of
TWC common stock will generally be issued at the end of the vesting period of an RSU. RSUs awarded
to non-employee directors are not subject to vesting or forfeiture restrictions and the shares
underlying the RSUs will generally be issued in connection with a directors termination of service
as a director. Holders of RSUs are generally entitled to receive cash dividend equivalents or
retained distributions related to regular cash dividends or distributions, respectively, paid by
TWC. Retained distributions are subject to the vesting requirements of the underlying RSUs.

7. PENSION COSTS
TWC has both funded and unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering a
majority of its employees (the TWC Pension Plans). Pension benefits are based on formulas that
reflect the employees years of service and compensation during their employment period. The
pension expense recognized by the Company is determined using certain assumptions, including the
expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, the interest factor implied by the discount rate
and the expected rate of compensation increases.
TWC uses a December 31 measurement date for the TWC Pension Plans. A summary of the components
of net periodic benefit costs and contributions for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

After considering the funded status of the TWC Pension Plans, movements in the discount rate,
investment performance and related tax consequences, the Company may choose to make contributions
to the TWC Pension Plans. As of March 31, 2010, there were no minimum required contributions for
the Companys funded plans. The Company did not make any contributions to its funded defined
benefit pension plans during the three months ended March 31, 2010 but may make discretionary cash
contributions to its funded defined benefit pension plans during 2010. For the Companys unfunded
plan, contributions will continue to be made to the extent benefits are paid. Benefit payments for
the unfunded plan are expected to be $3 million in 2010, of which $1 million has been paid as of
March 31, 2010.
8. RESTRUCTURING COSTS
Beginning in the first quarter of 2009, the Company began a restructuring, primarily
consisting of headcount reductions, to improve operating efficiency, and through March 31, 2010,
the Company incurred costs of $92 million related to this restructuring and made payments of $74
million against this accrual. Of the remaining $18 million liability, $16 million is classified as
a current liability, with the remaining $2 million classified as a noncurrent liability in the
consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010. Amounts are expected to be paid through 2013. The
Company eliminated approximately 1,300 positions during 2009 and approximately 170 additional
positions during the first quarter of 2010. The Company expects to incur additional restructuring
charges during the remainder of 2010. Information relating to this restructuring is as follows (in

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
On September 20, 2007, Brantley, et al. v. NBC Universal, Inc., et al. was filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Central District of California against the Company. The complaint, which
also named as defendants several other cable and satellite providers (collectively, the
distributor defendants) as well as programming content providers (collectively, the programmer
defendants), alleged violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Among other
things, the complaint alleged coordination between and among the programmer defendants to sell
and/or license programming on a bundled basis to the distributor defendants, who in turn
purportedly offer that programming to subscribers in packaged tiers, rather than on a per channel
(or à la carte) basis. Plaintiffs, who seek to represent a purported nationwide class of cable
and satellite subscribers, demand, among other things, unspecified treble monetary damages and an
injunction to compel the offering of channels to subscribers on an à la carte basis. On December
3, 2007, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in this action (the First Amended Complaint) that,
among other things, dropped the Section 2 claims and all allegations of horizontal coordination.
On December 21, 2007, the distributor defendants, including TWC, and the programmer defendants
filed motions to dismiss the First Amended Complaint. On March 10, 2008, the court granted these
motions, dismissing the First Amended Complaint with leave to amend. On March 20, 2008, plaintiffs
filed a second amended complaint (the Second Amended Complaint) that modified certain aspects of
the First Amended Complaint in an attempt to address the deficiencies noted by the court in its
prior dismissal order. On April 22, 2008, the distributor defendants, including the Company, and
the programmer defendants filed motions to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint, which motions were
denied by the court on June 25, 2008. On July 14, 2008, the distributor defendants and the
programmer defendants filed motions requesting the court to certify its June 25, 2008 order for
interlocutory appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which motions were denied
by the district court on August 4, 2008. On May 4, 2009, by stipulation of the parties, plaintiffs
filed a third amended complaint (the Third Amended Complaint) and on June 12, 2009, the
distributor defendants and the programmer defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Third Amended
Complaint, which the district court granted with prejudice on October 15, 2009, terminating the
action. On April 19, 2010, plaintiffs appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Ninth Circuit. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
On June 22, 2005, Mecklenburg County filed suit against TWE-A/N in the General Court of
Justice District Court Division, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina and, on July 1, 2005, the
action was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina.
Mecklenburg County, the franchisor in TWE-A/Ns Mecklenburg County cable system, alleges that
TWE-A/Ns predecessor failed to construct an institutional network in 1981 and that TWE-A/N assumed
that obligation upon the transfer of the franchise in 1995. Mecklenburg County is seeking
compensatory damages and TWE-A/Ns release of certain video channels it is currently using on the
cable system. On April 14, 2006, TWE-A/N filed a motion for summary judgment, which the district
court granted on January 26, 2010 on the basis that the plaintiffs claims were barred by the
statute of limitations. On February 25, 2010, Mecklenburg County filed a notice of appeal with the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit
vigorously.
On June 16, 1998, plaintiffs in Andrew Parker and Eric DeBrauwere, et al. v. Time Warner
Entertainment Company, L.P. and Time Warner Cable filed a purported nationwide class action in U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of New York claiming that Time Warner Entertainment
Company, L.P. (TWE) sold its subscribers personally identifiable information and failed to
inform subscribers of their privacy rights in violation of the Cable Communications Policy Act of
1984 and common law. The plaintiffs seek damages and declaratory and injunctive relief. On August
6, 1998, TWE filed a motion to dismiss, which was denied on September 7, 1999. On December 8,
1999, TWE filed a motion to deny class certification, which was granted on January 9, 2001 with
respect to monetary damages, but denied with respect to injunctive relief. On June 2, 2003, the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the district courts decision denying class
certification as a matter of law and remanded the case for further proceedings on class
certification and other matters. On May 4, 2004, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification,
which the Company opposed. On October 25, 2005, the district court granted preliminary approval of
a class settlement arrangement, but final approval of that settlement was denied on January 26,
2007. The parties subsequently reached a revised settlement to resolve this action on
terms that are not material to the Company and submitted their agreement to the district court
on April 2, 2008. On July 6, 2009, the district court granted approval of the settlement, which
certain class members have appealed with respect to attorneys fees. The Company intends to defend
against this lawsuit vigorously should the settlement not be upheld.

Certain Patent Litigation
On September 1, 2006, Ronald A. Katz Technology Licensing, L.P. (Katz) filed a complaint in
the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that TWC and several other cable
operators, among other defendants, infringe 18 patents purportedly relating to the Companys
customer call center operations and/or voicemail services. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified
monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. On March 20, 2007, this case, together with other
lawsuits filed by Katz, was made subject to a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) Order transferring
the case for pretrial proceedings to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of
California. In April 2008, TWC and other defendants filed common motions for summary judgment,
which argued, among other things, that a number of claims in the patents at issue are invalid under
Sections 112 and 103 of the Patent Act. On June 19 and August 4, 2008, the court issued orders
granting, in part, and denying, in part, those motions. Defendants filed additional individual
motions for summary judgment in August 2008, which argued, among other things, that defendants
respective products do not infringe the surviving claims in plaintiffs patents. On August 13,
2009, the district court found one additional patent invalid, but denied defendants motions for
summary judgment on three remaining patents, and on October 27, 2009, the district court denied the
defendants requests for reconsideration of the decision. On January 29, 2010, the district court
found one of the three remaining patents invalid based on a motion for summary judgment brought by
another defendant. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
On June 1, 2006, Rembrandt Technologies, LP (Rembrandt) filed a complaint in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that the Company and a number of other
cable operators infringed several patents purportedly related to a variety of technologies,
including high-speed data and IP-based telephony services. In addition, on September 13, 2006,
Rembrandt filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging
that the Company infringes several patents purportedly related to high-speed cable modem internet
products and services. On June 18, 2007, these cases, along with other lawsuits filed by
Rembrandt, were made subject to an MDL Order transferring the case for pretrial proceedings to the
U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. In November 2008, the district court issued its
claims construction orders. In response to these orders, the plaintiff has indicated it will
dismiss its claims relating to the alleged infringement of eight patents purportedly relating to
high-speed data and IP-based telephony services. The plaintiff has not indicated that it will
dismiss its claim relating to one remaining patent alleged to relate to digital video decoder
technology. Summary judgment motions are pending relating to the remaining claim. The Company
intends to defend against the remaining claim vigorously.
On April 26, 2005, Acacia Media Technologies (AMT) filed suit against TWC in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that TWC infringes several patents
held by AMT. AMT has publicly taken the position that delivery of broadcast video (except live
programming such as sporting events), pay-per-view, VOD and ad insertion services over cable
systems infringe its patents. AMT has brought similar actions regarding the same patents against
numerous other entities, and all of the previously pending litigations have been made the subject
of an MDL Order consolidating the actions for pretrial activity in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California. On October 25, 2005, the TWC action was consolidated into the MDL
proceedings. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. On
September 25, 2009, the district court ruled on the Companys summary judgment motions finding all
AMT patents invalid and, on February 2, 2010, AMT appealed this decision. The Company intends to
defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties claiming that it infringes
their intellectual property rights. Claims of intellectual property infringement could require TWC
to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, incur substantial monetary
liability or be enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of the intellectual property
in question. In addition, certain agreements entered may require the Company to indemnify the other
party for certain third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase the
Companys damages and its costs of defending against such claims. Even if the claims are without
merit, defending against the claims can be time consuming and costly.
As part of the restructuring of TWE, Time Warner agreed to indemnify the Company from and
against any and all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from specified litigation
matters brought against the TWE
non-cable businesses. Although Time Warner has agreed to indemnify the Company against such
liabilities, TWE remains a named party in certain litigation matters.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (TWE) and TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (TW NY and,
together with TWE, the Guarantor Subsidiaries) are subsidiaries of Time Warner Cable Inc. (the
Parent Company). The Guarantor Subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally, jointly and
severally, directly or indirectly, guaranteed the debt issued by the Parent Company in its 2007
registered exchange offer and its 2008 and 2009 public offerings. The Parent Company owns 100% of
the voting interests, directly or indirectly, of both TWE and TW NY.
The Securities and Exchange Commissions rules require that condensed consolidating financial
information be provided for subsidiaries that have guaranteed debt of a registrant issued in a
public offering, where each such guarantee is full and unconditional and where the voting interests
of the subsidiaries are 100% owned by the registrant. Set forth below are condensed consolidating
financial statements presenting the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of
(i) the Parent Company, (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis (as such guarantees are
joint and several), (iii) the direct and indirect non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company
(the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) on a combined basis and (iv) the eliminations necessary to
arrive at the information for Time Warner Cable Inc. on a consolidated basis.
There are no legal or regulatory restrictions on the Parent Companys ability to obtain funds
from any of its subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances.
These condensed consolidating financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of Time Warner Cable Inc.
Basis of Presentation
In presenting the condensed consolidating financial statements, the equity method of
accounting has been applied to (i) the Parent Companys interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and
the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries interests in the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries and (iii) the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries,
where applicable, even though all such subsidiaries meet the requirements to be consolidated under
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All intercompany balances and transactions between
the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been
eliminated, as shown in the column Eliminations.
The accounting bases in all subsidiaries, including goodwill and identified intangible assets,
have been allocated to the applicable subsidiaries.
Prior to March 12, 2009, Time Warner Cable Inc. was not a separate taxable entity for U.S.
federal and various state income tax purposes and its results were included in the consolidated
U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns of Time Warner Inc. In the condensed
consolidating financial statements, income tax provision has been presented based on each
subsidiarys legal entity basis. Deferred taxes of the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries
and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been presented based upon the temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of the respective assets and liabilities of the applicable entities.
Certain administrative costs incurred by the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries or the
Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries are allocated to the various entities based on the relative number of
video subscribers at each entity.
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company prospectively modified its intercompany transfer
pricing agreement for certain services. While this modification did not materially impact net
income of either the Guarantor Subsidiaries or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, it did increase
revenues and associated expenses (including expenses reported as intercompany royalties) for the
Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and reduced revenues and associated expenses for the Guarantor
Subsidiaries.
Prior to October 1, 2009, interest income (expense), net, was determined based on third-party
debt and the relevant intercompany amounts within the respective legal entity. Beginning October 1,
2009, the Parent Company began to allocate interest expense to certain subsidiaries based on each
subsidiarys contribution to revenues. This allocation serves to reduce the Parent Companys
interest expense and increase the interest expense of both the Guarantor Subsidiaries and
Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.
